+This library provides heavily optimized routines for string search primitives.
+
+# Overview
+
+This section gives a brief high level overview of what this crate offers.
+
+* The top-level module provides routines for searching for 1, 2 or 3 bytes
+ in the forward or reverse direction. When searching for more than one byte,
+ positions are considered a match if the byte at that position matches any
+ of the bytes.
+* The [`memmem`] sub-module provides forward and reverse substring search
+ routines.
+
+In all such cases, routines operate on `&[u8]` without regard to encoding. This
+is exactly what you want when searching either UTF-8 or arbitrary bytes.
+
+# Example: using `memchr`
+
+This example shows how to use `memchr` to find the first occurrence of `z` in
+a haystack:
+
+```
+use memchr::memchr;
+
+let haystack = b"foo bar baz quuz";
+assert_eq!(Some(10), memchr(b'z', haystack));
+```
+
+# Example: matching one of three possible bytes
+
+This examples shows how to use `memrchr3` to find occurrences of `a`, `b` or
+`c`, starting at the end of the haystack.
+
+```
+use memchr::memchr3_iter;
+
+let haystack = b"xyzaxyzbxyzc";
+
+let mut it = memchr3_iter(b'a', b'b', b'c', haystack).rev();
+assert_eq!(Some(11), it.next());
+assert_eq!(Some(7), it.next());
+assert_eq!(Some(3), it.next());
+assert_eq!(None, it.next());
+```
+
+# Example: iterating over substring matches
+
+This example shows how to use the [`memmem`] sub-module to find occurrences of
+a substring in a haystack.
+
+```
+use memchr::memmem;
+
+let haystack = b"foo bar foo baz foo";
+
+let mut it = memmem::find_iter(haystack, "foo");
+assert_eq!(Some(0), it.next());
+assert_eq!(Some(8), it.next());
+assert_eq!(Some(16), it.next());
+assert_eq!(None, it.next());
+```
+
+# Example: repeating a search for the same needle
+
+It may be possible for the overhead of constructing a substring searcher to be
+measurable in some workloads. In cases where the same needle is used to search
+many haystacks, it is possible to do construction once and thus to avoid it for
+subsequent searches. This can be done with a [`memmem::Finder`]:
+
+```
+use memchr::memmem;
+
+let finder = memmem::Finder::new("foo");
+
+assert_eq!(Some(4), finder.find(b"baz foo quux"));
+assert_eq!(None, finder.find(b"quux baz bar"));
+```
+
+# Why use this crate?
+
+At first glance, the APIs provided by this crate might seem weird. Why provide
+a dedicated routine like `memchr` for something that could be implemented
+clearly and trivially in one line:
+
+```
+fn memchr(needle: u8, haystack: &[u8]) -> Option<usize> {
+ haystack.iter().position(|&b| b == needle)
+}
+```
+
+Or similarly, why does this crate provide substring search routines when Rust's
+core library already provides them?
+
+```
+fn search(haystack: &str, needle: &str) -> Option<usize> {
+ haystack.find(needle)
+}
+```
+
+The primary reason for both of them to exist is performance. When it comes to
+performance, at a high level at least, there are two primary ways to look at
+it:
+
+* **Throughput**: For this, think about it as, "given some very large haystack
+ and a byte that never occurs in that haystack, how long does it take to
+ search through it and determine that it, in fact, does not occur?"
+* **Latency**: For this, think about it as, "given a tiny haystack---just a
+ few bytes---how long does it take to determine if a byte is in it?"
+
+The `memchr` routine in this crate has _slightly_ worse latency than the
+solution presented above, however, its throughput can easily be over an
+order of magnitude faster. This is a good general purpose trade off to make.
+You rarely lose, but often gain big.
+
+**NOTE:** The name `memchr` comes from the corresponding routine in libc. A key
+advantage of using this library is that its performance is not tied to its
+quality of implementation in the libc you happen to be using, which can vary
+greatly from platform to platform.
+
+But what about substring search? This one is a bit more complicated. The
+primary reason for its existence is still indeed performance, but it's also
+useful because Rust's core library doesn't actually expose any substring
+search routine on arbitrary bytes. The only substring search routine that
+exists works exclusively on valid UTF-8.
+
+So if you have valid UTF-8, is there a reason to use this over the standard
+library substring search routine? Yes. This routine is faster on almost every
+metric, including latency. The natural question then, is why isn't this
+implementation in the standard library, even if only for searching on UTF-8?
+The reason is that the implementation details for using SIMD in the standard
+library haven't quite been worked out yet.
+
+**NOTE:** Currently, only `x86_64` targets have highly accelerated
+implementations of substring search. For `memchr`, all targets have
+somewhat-accelerated implementations, while only `x86_64` targets have highly
+accelerated implementations. This limitation is expected to be lifted once the
+standard library exposes a platform independent SIMD API.
+
+# Crate features
+
+* **std** - When enabled (the default), this will permit this crate to use
+ features specific to the standard library. Currently, the only thing used
+ from the standard library is runtime SIMD CPU feature detection. This means
+ that this feature must be enabled to get AVX accelerated routines. When
+ `std` is not enabled, this crate will still attempt to use SSE2 accelerated
+ routines on `x86_64`.
+* **libc** - When enabled (**not** the default), this library will use your
+ platform's libc implementation of `memchr` (and `memrchr` on Linux). This
+ can be useful on non-`x86_64` targets where the fallback implementation in
+ this crate is not as good as the one found in your libc. All other routines
+ (e.g., `memchr[23]` and substring search) unconditionally use the
+ implementation in this crate.
